Der Luxemburg-Atlas
Ein Bestseller · 2010
This is an academic book review of the Luxemburg-Atlas, published in late 2009. Edited by seven scholars, the atlas comprises 95 thematic articles (46 in German, 49 in French) organized into five sections: history, cities and projects, nature and environment, economy and mobility, and society and culture. The review highlights the atlas's innovative approach of combining maps with textual analysis to present the spatial and social complexity of Luxembourg, praising its original cartography. However, the author also raises critical points, including outdated data in some contributions, insufficient map annotations, and incomplete coverage of certain topics. Overall, the review deems the atlas an outstanding reference work that demonstrates the value of geography in regional studies, noting its long-standing position at the top of local bestseller lists.
Cartographical Survey: Atlas du Luxembourg
H. Fullard · 1972
This article reviews three types of French cartographic publications: the aquifer atlas of the Paris region, the national atlas of Luxembourg, and tourist maps produced by the Institut Géographique National. The Paris aquifer atlas systematically presents the complex multi-layered aquifer structure of the region at scales of 1:200,000 and 1:500,000, covering hydrogeological conditions, hydrochemical characteristics, and exploitation potential. Despite issues such as inconsistent scales and unwieldy format, it is regarded as a significant contribution to regional hydrogeological mapping. The Luxembourg atlas, prepared by the University of Nottingham in collaboration with Luxembourg experts, covers six thematic sections including history, physical conditions, administration, demography, economic activities, and social services, providing rich baseline geographic information, though text-map coordination could be improved. The IGN tourist maps cater to diverse user groups (motorists, hikers, skiers, etc.) with various scales and thematic content, reflecting the professionalization trend in tourist cartography.
